Apparentely around 95% of women would rather cancel a date than go without makeup. Shocking? A part of me can't help but to think so.

Let's say hypothetically, you have a date coming up but you have no access to makeup. Would you be confident enough to rely purely on your natural looks along with clothes/ style . Or would you cancel it? Truthfully.

I don't wear make up to begin with... Just a bit of Bare Essentials mineral stuff for sunscreen and so my face doesn't look oily.



That's awesome. Don't get me wrong, makeup is great, it makes you more attractive, confident and whatnot. It can be a work of art. But at the end of the day, your true face is all you are left with.

I think I'd go on a date without makeup on. Come to think of it, dates only lead to one thing, sex or a relationship. I don't know anybody who get their fuck on with full makeup on, so why not speed up the process where he gets to see you without your fake face on? Hmmm.

I'd admit thou, if I'm really into a guy, I sneak to the bathroom VERY early in the morning do a few touch-ups & get rid of the 'drool trail' & crusty eyes. I turn the pillow too incase he wakes up & see my drool stains. I'm a dangerous drooler lol.

I wouldn't need the works, but come on, at least lip gloss! Damn!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with makeup, just like there's nothing wrong with hair products that "enhance" what your hair should REALLY look like! There's nothing wrong with push up bras or anything that enhances things

If 95% of the women who wore makeup were single, then I'd say hey ladies let's take it off, but clearly that's not true. Clearly the guys who are swearing they hate makeup are very much so still getting in relationships with them!

Makeup isn't ever gonna go away. It's just gonna get worse lmao

anybody have suggestions on how to make you pores smaller, mines are ridiculously large...



There are treantments for that, but for a healthy looking face in general and something you can DIY, carrot is your best friend. Yep. Peel half a carrot before going to bed, let the juice stay for about 20 minutes, than apply it equally on your face & neck. If you feel it tightening the face, you're doing it right.

I don't know how it's called on English lol!

If you're gonna keep doing it permanently than make sure to remove the little carrot pieces from your face while applying it. Cuz it could stay lighter on your face eventually and than there's nothing you can do about it. Also if it's a small carrot than use the whole thing. If it's a big carrot, half is enough. I'm just quoting my beautician here, she knows her stuff.

I need: eyeliner, mascara, lip stick, lip liner, eye shadow (optional)

Most of my life I don't wear make-up, but if I have to put myself together and go out like to impress: I'd feel naked without it.



I have a love hate relationship with mascara cuz it's a pain in the ass to take off but it looks so good >

i do look exotic when i wear makeup, but i was told my eyes are scary by my x virgo when i stared at him one time, i had one eyeliner and mascara...it emboldened my eyes

so i wouldn't wear it around him if i saw him again



I hope you didn't go Goth on the poor guy lol. Some girls go too thick & hard on the eye stuff & end up looking like a mama racoon. I watch 'what not to wear' & the makeup artist there has great tips.

I wouldn't cancel-- that would be silly-- but I wouldn't be thrilled, either.

I've said it before, but if you look good, you feel good-- or at least better.

And I wouldn't want said date to think idgaf.

I don't wear much makeup to begin with-- but I DO wear it.





Totally. πŸ˜„

theatrum thanks but are you saying this would bleach my skin?



No, it doesn't make it lighter. It just gives it a healthy tone (if you really use it for years). It's not gonna do anything after you apply it once, twice, for a month even. Try it and see how it goes, or look it up online for more info.

Oh I thought maybe it was due to how you put on your eye makeup. Ya, you do have piercing eyes.

For a potential date...I'd probably wear mascara and under eye concealer...I dont need to scare anyone with my dark circles. They are really bad...ugh genetics lol. If I didnt have those things...I'd still go.

Other than that I dont do the makeup thing not even at work...I dont want to be one of those girls that as soon as they decide to not wear their makeup...everyone like wtf happen to her face lol

I rarely wear makeup. I try so hard to wear lipstick but, I have to be real with myself, I really don't care about it. Makeup makes me feel self conscious.

The only guy that loved me wearing makeup was a Sag. He even wanted to do it for me...too cute.

I prefer to do the hard work of taking care of myself. It's hard work taking care of yourself to look good the natural way and probably the same cost: exfoliating, sunscreen everyday, moisturizing, African cocoa butter for even tone and,treatment of blemishes, exercise to keep away cellulite...water, vitamins

I guess so...cute for you but whats really going on with the self conscious chick?

Have you seen them without make up?



It's not about looking like you're going for a magazine photo-shoot, at least not for me. You just go in there to make yourself look presentable eg. even the brows, clean up the face & brush your teeth. Brows, clean face & teeth doesn't equal Sasha Fierce.

Don't you get self-conscious in the morning waking up to somebody else in the room with you? Men do it too. Some refuse to talk in the morning until they 1st brush their teeth.

As I said I only clean up the gold dusts in my eyes and check if my breath smells. Otherwise, im good.

People actually look pretty after having a good sleep.

Oh, I didn't see that part. I thought maybe you just let the people wake up to the nightmare of crusty eyes & stuff.

Hell no.

The best part of the morning Is waking up, sort of half asleep and sexed eyes.

Mhhhhmmmm

Then having sex feels like you're dreaming. Weeeeeeee!



Do you let them kiss you while sexing you that early in the morning? Morning kisses are gross & sticky..before brushing. Eww

Im not so insecure of the outside as I am of the inside.

As lame as that sounds.



We all have insecurities lol.



Im insecure with my birth chart and how I may not evolve. I feel like a facking pokemon thats so slow to evolve while the rest are transforming to a phoenix or summin 😭

I just want to transform this damn soul to something great so next lifetime wont be so hard.

I feel like a turtle and im a damn gem.

You're too hard on yourself, you're wonderful the way you are. As a matter of fact, you're more zen that the most of us here..you & starlover & few others. The rest of us are a burning match lol, messy!

Yes. If both of us don't mind and have tolerable breathes, sometimes we'll quickly gurgle some water.

Lol zen my arse. Its hard. If I go super emo its like a dark cloud and I don't want to rain on others. So need the humor a lot. At least it doesn't sound so terrible.

I actually want to take yoga and do all those leg positions. You know the splits. Probably a good sex position πŸ˜›

LOL @ sex position. I used to do yoga, for free but I stopped because it's expensive out of pocket.

I don't know if this works for everyone but, floss, brush, and mouthwash before bed relieves morning breathe?

Love morning sex. The sun shining over the bed is perfect mood lighting...specially, Sunday morning.

Makeup's friend is the night it seems... and the camera.

WC did you get to the level where you can do splits?

Feb mhmm showers are usually nice for a lot of things πŸ˜‰ sex in the water is something I still have to try

VenusA yes definitely. Flossing is important and brushing tongue especially.



LOL, no splits here but I'm pretty flexible by nature..still can't do splits, though. I now have an interest in pilates, I bought 6 pilates dvds (for beginners) on friday because I'm lazy to go to the gym..I need to do something at least.

I don't care if I'm not wearing makeup depending on the place. But I guess I feel tremendous social pressure to look appropriate for where I'm going.

If I'm going to the park, or causal lunch, shopping, what ever I don't care. But if I'm going out at night and I know other bitches will be judging me. Cus that's what most bitches are doing, trying to figure out if their better then you are. So you just got to walk up in there like "no bitch, you ain't!"

That sounds horrible. But fuck it, its the truth.



No it ain't horrible. It's true. I still wear no makeup and still they will hate even more... as females we have so much... hair, body, clothing, the man on your arms... they'll find something.

My mom has her zumba dvd.

Gyms are great but I hate treadmills, I feel awkward trying to run on it. Its great bc I do workout with my eyes. Im 20/20 vision and I plan on keeping it that way. Thats why in a way I loved my time at the gym. I prefer home workouts though bc I can actually do proper workouts.

It's really attractive and cute when they touch up their makeup sneaking to the bathroom in the morning nightgown



Do you find the act of a woman wanting to look good for you more attractive than the actual makeup she put on? I see it. I'd find the same act attractive in a man (not makeup ofc but you get the point πŸ˜›).

yep i agree. Doesn't matter.

there are women I have read (famous people) who wear makeup to bed and put it on to freshen up before their husbands wake.
